Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electrochromic technology, in particular to an electrochromic polymer and a preparation method thereof and an electrochromic polymer film. BACKGROUND

[0002] Electrochromic materials can undergo reversible redox reactions under the action of suitable external voltage and exhibit reversible color conversion, which has important application prospects in many fields such as smart windows, non-emitting displays, etc. Among them, electrochromic materials with wide absorption capacity in the visible light range have strong application demand, especially for smart windows, so many research works are committed to realizing the color conversion from black to transparent. In order to realize this function, the main solutions include chemical copolymerization, physical blending, thin film stacking, etc., and it is of great significance to develop a simple copolymerization reaction to prepare a polymer with wide spectral absorption in the field of electrochromic materials.

[0003] Based on the donor-acceptor type polymer with double-band absorption characteristics, the reasonable collocation of donor monomer and double acceptor monomer can effectively realize the wide spectrum absorption. First, the donor monomer with large planar conjugated structure, indacendithiophene (IDTT) or tris(thienothiophene) (TTT), and two acceptor monomers with strong and weak, 5,8-bis(4-(2-butyl octyl)-5-bromothiophene-2-yl)-dithieno[3,2":3,4;2,3":5,6]benzo[1,2-c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (TBT-Br) and 4,7-dibromo-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (TZ-Br), are selected to obtain a polymer by copolymerization. Two kinds of donor-acceptor structures are formed in the polymer, and the absorption peaks of the two structures are complementary, so that the copolymer obtains the wide spectrum modulation ability. At the same time, in order to make the coloration of the polymer closer to black, the proportion of the two acceptor monomers should be carefully regulated, for example, the increase of TZ proportion may lead to the increase of the absorption of red light (>600 nm) of the polymer, and finally the coloration of the polymer is biased to blue. Therefore, the reaction conditions of direct arylation polymerization are optimized, and the proportion of each monomer is adjusted to obtain a uniform black electrochromic material.

[0004] In recent years, in the field of organic photovoltaics, the structure of thieno[3,2-b]-thiophene (TT) has been widely used, and homopolymers of TT derivatives, such as poly(indacen dithieno[3,2-b]thiophene) (PIDTT) and poly(tris(thienothiophene)) (PTTT), have been proven to have strong and wide absorption spectrum. On the one hand, the unique coplanar "ladder" structure of IDTT units and TTT units effectively increases the degree of delocalization of π electrons, making them highly electron-rich, thus having stronger electron-donating ability and higher HOMO energy level, and the characteristic absorption peak caused by π-π* transition is red-shifted from the ultraviolet light band to the visible light band. On the other hand, 5,8-bis(4-(2-butyloctyl)thiophene-2-yl)-dithieno[3,2":3,4;2,3":5,6]benzo[1,2-c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (TBT) is introduced as a middle-gap acceptor monomer, which is based on 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (TZ) and fuses two thiophenes, which can effectively reduce the overall electron-withdrawing ability, and the two independent thiophenes connected by a single bond can act as a bridge for π electrons, while TZ is a common acceptor monomer with a relatively narrow band gap, which is commonly used to construct D-A type conjugated polymers. At the same time, in addition to the conjugated structure, the long-chain alkyl groups linked to the side of IDTT, TTT and TBT also give them good solubility to obtain electrochromic polymers that can be used for solution processing. However, there is currently no report on related polymers. SUMMARY

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide an electrochromic polymer, a preparation method thereof and an electrochromic film comprising the electrochromic polymer, which contains indacen dithieno[3,2-b]thiophene (IDTT) or tris(thienothiophene) (TTT), 5,8-bis(4-(2-butyloctyl)-2-yl)-dithieno[3,2":3,4;2,3":5,6]benzo[1,2-c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (TBT), and 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (TZ) units in the structure, has black-to-transparent transition ability, and is prepared by a direct arylization polymerization method.

[0042] The proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of all copolymers are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 .

[0043] Example 2

[0044] The polymer prepared in Example 1 was subjected to solution spectroscopy and electrochemical performance test. The polymer was dissolved in chloroform to prepare a solution with a concentration of 2 x 10 -4 mg / mL, the solution absorption curve and solution picture are shown in Figure 3As shown, the solution color of IDTT-TBT-TZ-3-1-2 is black, and the solution color of TTT-TBT-TZ-2-1-1 is dark green. Through the test of the ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer, the solution of the two polymers has a relatively wide absorption band, and presents several high absorption peaks, which is the result of the joint action of the π electron transition and the intramolecular charge transfer existing in the copolymer with the double D-A type structure. Among them, the corresponding absorption peaks of the polymer IDTT-TBT-TZ-3-1-2 are at 434 nm and 620 nm, respectively. The corresponding absorption peaks of the polymer TTT-TBT-TZ-2-1-1 are at 467 nm and 651 nm, respectively.

[0045] Preparation of polymer thin film: the polymer is dissolved in chloroform to prepare a solution of 5 mg / ml, the insoluble substances are filtered out through a filter, and then placed in a spray gun, the air pressure is controlled to be 2 MPa, and the spray is carried out on the conductive glass, the thin film absorbance is about 1.0, and after the spray, it is placed in a vacuum drying box for vacuum drying at 40 degrees for standby. A three-electrode system is adopted, in which the polymer film is used as the working electrode, the platinum wire is used as the counter electrode, and the calibrated silver wire is used as the reference electrode, and the supporting electrolyte is a 0.1 mol / L lithium perchlorate propylene carbonate solution.

[0046] Spectroelectrochemical performance test of copolymer film under different voltages. A three-electrode system is adopted, in which the ITO glass sheet (1 cm x 5 cm) loaded with the electrochromic polymer film is used as the working electrode, the silver wire is used as the quasi-reference electrode (calibrated according to Fc / Fc + ) and the platinum wire is used as the counter electrode, and the electrolyte solution is a 0.1 M lithium perchlorate / carbonic acid propylene (LiClO4 / PC) solution. The spectroelectrochemical spectra and colorless coloring photos of the two copolymer thin films under different applied voltages are shown in Figure 4 , it can be easily seen that the electrochromic transition from black to transparent occurs in both electrochromic thin films. And due to the π-π* bond stacking, the spectrum of the polymer thin film has a certain red shift relative to the solution. With the continuous increase of the voltage, the polymer thin film can realize the transition from the high absorption state covering 400-700 nm to the transparent state.

[0047] The electrochemical performance of the copolymer is tested by cyclic voltammetry (see Figure 5 ), and both polymers have a relatively low oxidation potential. Among them, IDTT-TBT-TZ-3-1-2 shows reversible oxidation-reduction coupling at 0.92 V / 0.79 V, and TTT-TBT-TZ-2-1-1 shows reversible oxidation-reduction coupling at 0.74 V / 0.61 V, both of which have obvious reversible oxidation-reduction activity, accompanied by reversible color change.

[0048] The response time refers to the time required for the material to achieve 95% of its maximum transmittance difference. The response time and cycle stability of the polymer were tested by using an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer and an electrochemical workstation (see Figure 6 and Figure 7 ), the three-electrode system was connected to the electrochemical workstation, and the quartz cuvette was placed in the ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer, and the change in transmittance of the polymer film at the maximum transmittance wavelength was measured synchronously while a voltage was applied to the polymer film. The double-potential steps set in the square wave cycle of IDTT-TBT-TZ-3-1-2 at 434 nm were: 0.9 V and 0 V, with a duration of 40 s and 10 s, respectively. The initial optical contrast of IDTT-TBT-TZ-3-1-2 was 42.1%, and after 240 cycles of square wave cycle, the optical contrast decreased to 39.8%; the double-potential steps set in the square wave cycle of TTT-TBT-TZ-2-1-1 at 467 nm were: 1.0 V and 0 V, with a duration of 100 s and 70 s, respectively. The initial optical contrast of TTT-TBT-TZ-2-1-1 was 38.8%, and after 350 cycles of square wave cycle, the optical contrast decreased to 35.5%; and during the switching process, the coloring time (t c ) and bleaching time (t b ) of IDTT-TBT-TZ-3-1-2 were 2.0 s and 17.6 s, respectively; the coloring time (t c ) and bleaching time (t b ) of TTT-TBT-TZ-2-1-1 were 10.3 s and 47.8 s, respectively.

[0049] The thermal stability of the electrochromic polymer was tested (see Figure 8 ): the thermal decomposition temperature of the polymer was greater than 300℃, indicating that it can be applied to a working environment with a higher temperature.

[0050] As can be seen from the above examples, the color and absorption spectrum of the copolymer film prepared by the present application can be controlled by the type of comonomer, the copolymer film can realize the transformation from black to transparent, and has the characteristics of easy processing, high optical contrast, high coloring efficiency and good stability, and the prepared copolymer film can be applied in the fields of smart windows, electrochromic display and self-adaptive camouflage.

[0051] The above has described the embodiments of the present application, and the above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and changes will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
